The BAA Final, held first between 1947 and 1948, was a five-game series between the Central Division champions and the runners-up from the East and West Divisions; in 1949 it was changed to a four-team tournament, with second-place teams from East and West joining two division winners in competing for the title. From 1950 to 1952, three divisional playoff teams competed for two berths in the BAA Finals; in 1953, a fourth team (the Central Division champion) was added, necessitating a semifinals playoff round between first and second place teams prior to final series competition. In 1954, when the BAA merged with its competitor NBL to form NBA, divisional playoffs were eliminated completely; instead conference finalists faced each other regardless of regular season record for berths in the final round.
